Lighters now banned on U.S. flights

In the article entitled "Lighters now banned on U.S. flights", from the CNN website, the author introduces that the United States prohibits dangerous items, such as guns and knives that can be stowed in checked bags since 9/11. Furthermore, last year, congress passed a bill that lighters are banned onboard aircraft. On April, 14, the United States started to enforce a new law that lighters cannot be carried in the airport, or inside of checked bags, however matches are allowed.

I think that the ban of lighter is pointless on an airplane because the United States allows matches when they prohibit lighters. However this law is beneficial to the security of all citizens traveling in and out of the Unites States.
